Ok, so i bought a water cooling system and i hooked it all up according to instructions, but theres one part i am confused at. It says pour in the coolant that comes in teh package and then fill in distilled water until the meter reaches full. Now, when i bought this i also bought about a liter of this Koolance coolant liquid. Should I use that instead of the distilled water?

Fill it with whatever coolant you have and top it off with distilled water (if you run out of coolant). I don't think a liter will fill the entire the system, but I can be wrong.

You can run a 50/50 mix or 75/25 mix. I run a 80/20 mix, myself.

from the looks of it, it seems like the liter of coolant i have will be enough to fill this system up completely. I dont have any distilled water around, so does it matter if it is filled completely with coolant liquid? or should i hold off until i can pick up some distilled water?

shouldn't really be an issue.

I ran my water cooling setup with all coolant before, and some that I know still do. I use distilled water in a mix now, to help keep my coolant last a little longer.
